Dear REAC Inspector and Property Manager for
Sandidge Hill Apartments
7830 Sandidge Road #46Olive Branch, MS 38654

Third Complaint

The Site Manager, Paula Perry just failed my apartment for the repairs
I previously reported.  I want to see the reports from my previous
inspections because this is HARRASSMENT.  I had my apartment inspected
on 3/21/2007 and in December with no problem.  My housekeeping was
never an issue until I complained to HUD- not even at my last HUD
apartment or anywhere I have lived.  The things wrong with my
apartment were that way when I rented it- ask Coleeta Walls the last
tenant.

If the condition of my apartment was my fault I would have been
evicted a long time ago.  Why didn't they fail my apartment for the
other defects they couldn't attempt to blame on me?  It's obvious that
since they found out that I am fighting this illegal retaliatory
eviction and wouldn't be gone by June 6, 2007 (date of the scheduled
REAC inspection) they decided to try to make the condition of my
apartment my fault.

SANDIDGE HILL APARTMENTS INSPECTION TIMELINE
(this is excessive)
August 2006     They had me sign the lease without seeing the
apartment.
December 2006   Inspections were done and no repairs ever made.
(See Letters Enclosed)
March 12, 2007  I received a letter about  an inspection on 3/16/2007
March 16, 2007  I received a letter about the inspection being
rescheduled for 3/21/2007 after a No Show all day.
March 21, 2007  They performed the Inspection.
March 22, 2007  I received a letter about a full week of follow up
inspections and repairs 3/23-3/30/2007. They were a No Show the full
week (still no repairs made).
April 2, 2007   I had pictures developed of the necessary repairs for
my apartment.
April 6, 2007  I called the MultiFamily Housing Clearinghouse to
complain and find out where to send a complaint letter I typed the day
before.
April 20, 2007  I received a letter announcing a second full week of
thorough inspections to start 4/24/2007 and they were a No Show again
for an entire week.
April 25, 2007 I mailed an Anonymous Complaint to the local field
office in Jackson, MSMay 1, 2007  I received a termination notice and
my neighbors told me that they received a letter about inspections
scheduled for the next day.
May 2, 2007  I stayed home to see if they were coming this time- NO
SHOW again.
May 4, 2007  I emailed another complaint to the local field office for
HUD.
May 8, 2007  I received a letter about a month of pop-up inspections
and repairs  at anytime (not for any specific day) from May 9 to June
5, 2007.
May 10, 2007 I received a Failed Inspection Report for my unit.  I
complained again to the Multi-Family Clearinghouse at about 10 am- at
approximately 6:30 pm I received the Failed Inspection Form that had
been delivered to my neighbor's apartment instead of mine.


They are basically saying- I know we are evicting you but can you fix
up the apartment before you go??   Now they want me to fix my own
apartment.  Please forward this to the REAC inspector responsible for
the Sandidge Hill Apt. 6/6 /2007 inspection.  Dalcor Management and
the owners have lost their minds!!

night).
The playground is unkept, outdated, and unsafe for small children.

Thank you for your time.  Please help assure that Dalcor management
and Sandidge Hill Apts doesn't get away with trying to pay off the
inspector again this year.
